WOYWW 600

Well, here we are - the 600th edition of What's On Your Workdesk - all thanks to Ms Julia, our Queen of Deskers and on Saturday we are having a virtual Crop!!!  The first ever we have had - all because of Covid.  But do we let that stop us meeting up and enjoying ourselves - do we hecky thump!  We just change direction.

So many many moons ago Julia decided to show her desk and invite others to do the same.  I did not know about this WOYWW then but a friend told me about it, I did nothing but then eventually joined in such a long time ago.  I only missed a bit of what turned to be the biggest blog event of my life.  The biggest kind of pen friendship ever!  Now I have friends all over the world and on one of my trips to America (to CHA - the big trade show) a friend from here who accompanied me said "how do you know so many people?  It was all because of WOYWW - they were folks like me who went to the show for one reason or another and we met up - in America!  At the other end of the earth I met someone from Australia who had relatives in Manchester and so arranged to meet me there on one of her visits.  WOYWW is responsible for the many many friendships I have all over the world.  Thank you so much Julia!

So what is on my desk this week?  Nothing much because I had a workshop weekend with Tracy Evans again and tidied up from that and then I made a few Christmas Cards (well, tried unsuccessfully to make the one I wanted) so made some others in order to get them out over seas.  All you can see is my Cutterpillar and a couple of cards and inkpads.

But we have been busy putting up our Christmas Tree, well, Chas has as my back went and I just couldn't do anything.  I think you will agree he made a darned good job of it - under my directorship!


Just so that you don't go without any crafting here are some photographs of my tag book made with Tracy at weekend:




The last two (directly above) are the covers, on the left is the back cover and the cover on the right is the front one which has a clay pot on it.  I just love the colours we used (although we had a choice I followed Tracy's which I fell in love with when I saw it (rust, who does not love rust!)

Well, that is it for this week - hope you all are keeping safe and well.  And before I go can I just say a BIG THANK YOU to JULIA for bringing us all together in WOYWW.  

THANK YOU JULIA. xxx
